Sig 365 or 365xl

[Saltwater60]

Been struggling with this for some time now. I for some reason thought you could do the 365 grip on the xl slide and barrel. It appears you can’t from some research. It appears there’s plenty of clothes with 365 grips. I have shorter hands so the longer grip doesn’t appeal to me.
I like the 365x. I don’t need another gun but figured with all the BS going on bows a pod time. I have plenty of cash to do it but I have a tough time spending cash. I hate that the mags are $50 each honestly. I like that the fire control group is the serialized part on the sig.
There’s also the ruger max but I have not been thrilled with my two rugers so I want to shy away from them if possible. I have the LCPII and like the way it shoots but my sr22 had way to many failure to fire/go into battery and my LCPII was rusting pretty badly. I have fixed these issues but just have a bad feeling about ruger. I know plenty here love them.

Did you shoot them?
Even the XL is small.
Been trying to find a smith pc shield plus 4” to try, i love the shields.

You can use the 365 grip with an xl slide, and the xl grip with a 365 slide. I have been thinking of getting an xl grip for mine now that we can get factory 10 rounders for them. Agreed mag prices are a bit crazy. The grip on these is about as small as I feel comfortable with, the xl would be helpful.

Go P365 and use the XL magazine. You’ll thank me.

I think I’d like it the other way around honestly. I have small hands and the ruger LCPII grips work just fine for me. I’d like the longer barrel with the shorter grip. We can only have 10 rounders anyway.

Thanks. I thought I read one article that you could go 365 grip with the xl slide and it was the perfect gun. I’ve been waiting for sig to release this combination but they haven’t obviously. I searched the web recently and I couldn’t find that you could do this.

Quick vid showing it works either way.

There are a bunch of 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc opinions on YouTube and SigForum that successfully swapped slides and frames.


You can also apparently get the sub 40 dollar frame and swap your serialized FCU if you want to save the expense of buying too many extra components. The sig p320 series modularity appears to live on in the p365 series

Just checked sig site and they have OEM frames for $40. That’s not bad at all.
Thanks. That second video is great. I never knew how easy it was to swap the FCU. I’ve stripped entire pistols and reassembled them so none of this worries me at all.

Buy the 365xl and factor in an extra say $50 and get the 365 grip module.

I have the 365 with romeo zero. I know the rmr gets a lot of flak but it was too cheap not to try. I just bought the X slide package with romeo zero so I can switch back to my factory 365 slide if I want a shorter gun.

Ummm the RMR doesn't get any flak? Unless you are talking about the RMRcc and thats just because the Holosun 507k just does the whole micro red dot better between the 2

Debatable.

I have read of some complaints of the longevity of the sig Romeo RMR. I’m sure you get that with all of them just seems a bit more common with the sig optic.

ROMEO1 1x30 mm

The ideal sighting solution for the modern semi-automatic pistol as well as MSR platforms and shotguns. Attention: Please see the compatibility notes below.

Sig doesn't make an RMR

Also don't get caught talking shit about sig handgun optics

So you went the slide barrel route huh?
Of in reading correctly you did the sig365 xl with the optics cut then added the 365x compact slide with the optics cut into it.
It seems a lot more expensive that way. I haven’t looked at prices but you would need two rmr’s as well no?

 

[togmaster]

I'm listening

I'll let you know all the reasons it's better once I get a few thousand rounds under my rmrcc. Slide not back from milling yet.

 

[drowhawk]

Sig doesn't make an RMR? I had to look that up to be sure. RMR may be the term that Trijicon coined, but for all intents and purposes, Sig romeo optics are "RMRs." Just about everyone refers to a pistol red dot as an "RMR." Maybe this is like calling all tissues "Kleenex" but it works.

How come everything is an argument with you? LOL

No RMR is literally what the Trijicon optic is named
Nice try

Bone stock Sig P365 with factory irons. I bought the 365X (NOT the XL) series slide with romeo zero pre-installed. I have one slide with irons, one slide with the romeo zero. Love them both.

 

[Edwardteach72]

Sig makes MRDS not RMR maybe do a bit more research ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cool well every holster company, gun store, and most enthusiasts refer to an RMR as any red dot pistol optic.

Kinda like every vacuum in Britain is a "Hoover."

We're allowed, get over it.

Weird how the Trijicon RMR is the VERY FIRST optic that shows up when you google MRDS.

I guess I'm missing something....

 

[Edwardteach72]

Weird how it's Trijicon RMR(registered trade mark) then model numbers such as RM06 or RM07


You > sig rmr

Me > hey thats not correct

You > .... doing some research...... learned something new.... got angry

You comes back > How dare you always try and argue with people and made me learn something so im just going to change the conversation and make it look like I'm still correct. Instead of just saying oh hey I didn't realize that's what it all was and now I learned something cool

Also not true but hey good try with made up arguments

 

[drowhawk]

That's the thing though- I learned nothing. I already knew RMR was the acronym that Trijicon came up with. The question was whether the term has been adopted to other reflex pistol optics (which it has). Not gonna derail the thread further though.

I'll keep calling them RMRs, you call them whatever you want. Hell, I won't even harass you for it either.

 

[Edwardteach72]

Yea it was an acronym for THEIR product.. its like me calling a trijicon a romeo.. not how it works

But hey you do you..

Not weird at all since MRDS stands for miniaturized red dot sight and what is the Trijicon
Ruggedized Miniature Reflex Sight??? Well it's a miniaturized red dot sight (MRDS)

Thank you. I think I’ll stick with my plan and get the sig 365xl with the optics plate and forgo the optics for now. I’ll cross that bridge when I get there.
